Hummus with a Hint of Lemon & Garlic

Drain the garbanzo beans, saving the liquid from the can. Remove and discard the clear skins from the garbanzo beans. To peel off the skins, just squeeze towards one end of the chickpea between two fingers. The skin should pop right off.

Add the garbanzo beans and lemon juice into the bowl of a food processor or blender and process until smooth. If the mixture is dry, add some of the reserved liquid from the can of garbanzo beans.

When the garbanzo beans are completely mashed, add the tahini, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and olive oil. Mix again until completely combined.

Check the consistency of the hummus. If you’d like it to be smoother or have a bit more liquid slowly mix in more of the reserved chickpea liquid until the hummus reaches the desired consistency.
